Alexander Lyrics

Poor paper pilot try to get ahead of time
Pin you down, speed it up, just obey the signs
In the middle of the night
Do the cryptic voices ever sleep?
Had a mind of your own, gave it all away
Keeping pace with the pain, never learned to play
In the middle of your isolation
Do you shoot sorrow in your veins?

Alexander, always worried
Why are you in such a hurry?
Alexander
Alexander

Up against the wall with a honey-tounged fate
Bleed you dry, burn you out, make you feel the weight
In the middle of a secret garden
Something inside is breaking down

Alexander, always worried
Why are you in such a hurry?
Alexander
Alexander

Take a look at yourself Alexander
Living like a no-man's-lander
Better take what they hand ya
Nobody's ever gonna try to understand you
Alexander
Alexander

(Solo)

Slow down Alexander
Slow down Alexander
Slow down Alexander
Slow down Alexander
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down

Take A Long Line

Poor paper pilot try to get ahead of time 
Pin you down, speed it up, just obey the signs 
In the middle of the night 
Do the cryptic voices ever sleep? 
Had a mind of your own, gave it all away 
Keeping pace with the pain, never learned to play 
In the middle of your isolation 
Do you shoot sorrow in your veins?

Alexander, always worried 
Why are you in such a hurry? 
Alexander 
Alexander

Up against the wall with a honey-tounged fate 
Bleed you dry, burn you out, make you feel the weight 
In the middle of a secret garden 
Something inside is breaking down

Alexander, always worried 
Why are you in such a hurry? 
Alexander 
Alexander

Take a look at yourself Alexander 
Living like a no-man's-lander 
Better take what they hand ya 
Nobody's ever gonna try to understand you 
Alexander 
Alexander

(Solo)

Slow down Alexander 
Slow down Alexander 
Slow down Alexander 
Slow down Alexander
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
